< UJeremiya 24 >
1 INkosi yangenza ngibone, khangela-ke, izitsha ezimbili zemikhiwa zibekwe phambi kwethempeli leNkosi, emva kokuthi uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni esethumbe uJekoniya indodana kaJehoyakhimi, inkosi yakoJuda, leziphathamandla zakoJuda, lababazi, labakhandi, wabasusa eJerusalema, wabasa eBhabhiloni.
Esi Nebukadnezar, Babilonia fia kplɔ Yehoyakim vi Yehoyatsin, Yuda fia, eƒe dumegãwo, aɖaŋudɔwɔlawo kple asinudɔwɔlawo yi ɖe aboyo mee le Babilonia megbe la, Yehowa ɖe gbotsetse kusi eve siwo woda ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ mɔnu la fiam.
2 Esinye isitsha sasilemikhiwa emihle kakhulu njengemikhiwa evuthwe kuqala; kodwa esinye isitsha sasilemikhiwa emibi kakhulu, eyayingeke idliwe ngenxa yobubi bayo.
Gbotsetse nyuiwo le kusi ɖeka me, eye woɖi nyuie abe esiwo ɖina kaba la ene. Ke gbotsetse siwo le kusi evelia me la menyo kura o, wogblẽ ale gbegbe be womenyo woaɖu o.
3 INkosi yasisithi kimi: Ubonani, Jeremiya? Ngasengisithi: Imikhiwa, imikhiwa emihle, emihle kakhulu; lemibi, emibi kakhulu, engeke idliwe ngenxa yobubi bayo.
Tete Yehowa biam be, “Nu ka kpɔm nèle, Yeremia?” Meɖo eŋu be, “Gbotsetsewoe. Nyuitɔwo le nyuie ŋutɔ, ke manyomanyoawo gblẽ ale gbegbe be womate ŋu aɖu wo o.”
4 Lafika kimi futhi ilizwi leNkosi lisithi:
Tete Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
5 Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Njengalimikhiwa emihle, ngokunjalo ngizananzelela abathunjiweyo bakoJuda, engibaxotshe ngabasusa kulindawo ngabasa elizweni lamaKhaladiya, kube kuhle.
“Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi, ‘Mebu aboyome siwo tso Yuda la abe gbotsetse nyui siawo ene, ame siwo meɖo ɖe Babiloniatɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi tso teƒe sia.
6 Ngoba ngizabeka ilihlo lami phezu kwabo ngokuhle, ngibabuyisele kulelilizwe; ngibakhe, ngingabadilizi; njalo ngizabahlanyela, ngingabasiphuni.
Nye ŋkuwo anɔ wo ŋu hena woawo ŋutɔ ƒe nyonyo eye magakplɔ wo agbɔe va anyigba sia dzi. Matu wo eye nyemagbã wo aƒu anyi o. Mado wo eye nyemaho wo aƒu gbe o.
7 Njalo ngizabanika inhliziyo yokuthi bangazi mina, ukuthi ngiyiNkosi; njalo bazakuba ngabantu bami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo; ngoba bazabuyela kimi ngenhliziyo yabo yonke.
Mana dzi wo, ne woadze sim be nyee nye Yehowa. Woanye nye dukɔ eye manye woƒe Mawu elabena woatrɔ agbɔ, ava gbɔnye kple woƒe dzi blibo.’
8 Kodwa njengemikhiwa emibi engeke idliwe ngenxa yobubi bayo, isibili itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngokunjalo ngizanika uZedekhiya, inkosi yakoJuda, leziphathamandla zakhe, lensali yeJerusalema, eseleyo kulelilizwe, lalabo abahlala elizweni leGibhithe,
“Yehowa be, ‘Gake abe gbotsetse siwo gblẽ ale gbegbe be womate ŋu aɖu wo o ene la, nenemae mawɔ Yuda fia Zedekia, eƒe dumegãwo kple ame siwo susɔ ɖe Yerusalem, woatsi anyigba sia dzi loo, alo woanɔ Egipte.
9 ngibanikele babe yinto eyesabekayo, babe yibubi, kuyo yonke imibuso yomhlaba, babe lihlazo, lesaga, inhlekisa, lesiqalekiso, kuzo zonke indawo engizabaxotshela khona.
Mawɔ wo woanye bibi kple ŋunyɔnu na anyigbadzifiaɖuƒewo katã, woanye alɔmeɖenu, lodonu, nu ɖikokoe kple fiƒodenu le afi sia afi si menya wo ɖo ɖo.
10 Njalo ngizathumela phakathi kwabo inkemba, indlala, lomatshayabhuqe wesifo, baze baqedwe basuke elizweni engalinika bona laboyise.
Madɔ yi, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃ ɖe wo dome va se ɖe esime woatsrɔ̃, avɔ le anyigba si metsɔ na wo kple wo fofowo la dzi.’”
